Pikestaff wrote: Precisely!!! That is why Faith - IS the gift of God. Eph 2:8. In the Reformed camp, the order of salvation is 1) election, 2) predestination, 3) gospel call 4) inward call 5) regeneration, 6) conversion (faith & repentance), 7) justification, 8) sanctification, and 9) glorification. (Rom 8:29-30) Pikestaff, I have no problem with the ordo salutis. however to conclude that "faith" is THE gift of God in Eph. 2:8 is subjective at best. The grammatical structure of the verse refutes your argument in that the Greek words for "faith" and "grace" are in the feminine gender and the pronoun "it" is in the neuter gender. According to grammatical rules, the pronoun must correspond with its antecedent in number as well as in gender.Subsequently, according to Galatians 5:22, faith is listed as a fruit of the Holy Spirit and is produced and generated by the Holy Spirit. It is not produced as a work of the flesh in regard to faith in the spiritual realm. In other words, an unregenerate man does not have saving faith because he is not born of the Spirit. He may have faith in worldly things, but not in the things of God. The things of God are foolishness unto him, but to him that is born of God, they are understood. |

Girl wrote: I agree with women wearing hats and/or covering in church, but I don't agree that it's to show their 'subjection to men'. It is to show they are under the authority AND protetion of either their father or thier husband, and certainly not ALL MEN as is implied here. Women may be subject to A man, but not ALL men, otherwise we would end up like the catholics, who teach their women that whatever the priest says for you to do must be right, and you cannot do wrong in doing it. This opens a very dangerous door, to my mind. Girl from Australia,You made a very excellent point. The scripture teaches that the wives are to be under the authority of THEIR OWN husbands, not all men in general just as husbands are to LOVE THEIR OWN wives. Your first and foremost authority as well as the men is to God himself and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the church. I have found that most fundamentalist men, baptist in particular, treat ALL women like they are second rate and should submit to ALL men, not just their own husbands. I speak as a man and say that that attitude is a disgrace to biblical Christianity and is a mockery to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
